Lots of Love!

 Hello Everyone!

Michelle from the Design Team here and today’s inspiration are two fluffy sheep spreading lots of love whilst floating on the clouds! 

Supplies used:

Ewe Are The Best

Just Marrried

Bold Sentiments

This card is built in a box-style format to give it a fun 3D effect. I created multiple layers of soft pink cloud panels, ink blended and splattered with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide and gold watercolour for a dreamy background. 

I then added plenty of red hearts all around as well as the the odd cloud here and there to carry that Valentine’s feel all the way through.

The star of the show has to be the sheep of course! I popped them up on acetate strips so they really look like they’re floating. Finally, the bold “lots of love” sentiment at the front ties it all together perfectly.

Sending lots of love your way today!

Michelle

Sending Happy Mail

Hello and happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Today, I am sharing a cheerful, happy mail card I created using the You Got Mail clear stamp set from Time For Tea Designs. The coordinating die set for this collection is currently on super sale, so be sure to grab it while you can!

To create the background, I began with watercolour paper and a combination of Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Picked Raspberry Distress Sprays. I layered the colours one at a time, heat-setting between sprays to create depth and texture. For a final touch of shimmer, I added a spritz of Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz, which gives the background a beautiful sparkle!

Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to a 5 3/4" x 4 1/4" card base.

Next, I used the Wide Stitched Frame Dies to cut a frame from White Silver Neenah cardstock, then attached it to the background with liquid glue.

For the focal elements, I stamped several images from the You Got Mail stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I added a few white gel pen highlights using a Gelly Roll pen for extra detail. The cute little acorn is from Jumping With Joy, and the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, both cut with their matching dies.

I arranged the images on the card front, adhering some flat with liquid glue and others with foam tape for dimension. To finish everything off, I added three Designer Enamel Dots from the Summer Haze collection for a fun pop of colour and shine.

Fall Thank You

Happy Fall! DT Annalisa here today, and I am sharing a fall scene with happy squirrels playing in the leaves as they prepare for winter. This card features the Jumping With Joy Clear Stamp Set from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the background, I used a scene die from my stash to die-cut mixed-media paper and then coloured the die-cut pieces with Distress Watercolour Pencils. Specifically, I used Gathered Twigs, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, and Brushed Corduroy for the trees; Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint for the grass; and Salvaged Patina and Mermaid Lagoon for the sky.

Next, I assembled the scene by using liquid glue to adhere the pieces to an A2 card base. I added some extra texture by splattering white Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain with a paint brush.

Once the background was complete, I moved on to adding details. I stamped several images from the Jumping With Joy Clear Stamp Set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. To finish the elements, I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The heart flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, the tiny flowers are from Just Married, and the mushrooms are from You Got Mail.

I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to stick the images to the card. The sentiment is from the Brighter Days Sentiment Cards, White on Black.

Ewe Are The Best!

Hello!

Michelle from the Design Team here and today I have card inspired by the oncoming change of season. I bring to you a cosy little fall scene that’s full of fluffy fun! These sweet sheep are making the most of autumn with big piles of crunchy leaves and lots of happy smiles.

Supplies used:

Ewe Are The Best

Jumping With Joy

To start with, I ink blended a soft sky background using Salvaged Patina Distress Oxides with my usual addition of splatters to give it interest.

Next, I die cut a hillside and ink blended with my favourite combination of Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover Distress Oxides. 

I shopped my stash for a large tree die, ran it over with a woodgrain texture die and then ink blended with Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo and Ground Expresso Distress Oxides. For the head/leaves of the tree, using Mustard Seed, Spiced Pumpkin and Festive Berries Distress Oxides, I ink blended bold orange colours and added speckled details to capture that perfect autumn glow. 

All the images were either printed or stamped out. Each sheep was coloured with warm tones to match the feel of the card. I tucked two of the sheep into the piles of leaves, looking very content and with the third one, I wanted to add my usual element of fun so I placed it like it couldn't want to jump in! The layered leaves add such great texture and movement to the scene.

For the sentiment, there was only perfect one choice for it - 'ewe are the best'. I die cut EWE from some alphabet dies in my stash from cardstock that I ink blended with the same colours of the tree head/leaves to tie it all together. I added further dimension to this by die cutting the letters again from white cardstock and offsetting it. 

I really love this card as it's not the usual animals that you expect to be playing in piles of leaves! 

If you’re feeling inspired to jump into some autumn crafting, this is your sign. Grab those oranges and greens and have some fun!

Simply The Zest

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I am sharing a bright, fruit-themed card featuring Fruitful Friends and Squeeze the Day from Time For Tea Designs. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy delicious, fresh fruit! 🍓🍋🍉

I grabbed the Sweet Scalloped Dies to cut out some patterned paper from the Sweet Summer 6x6' Paper Pad, then used double-sided tape to attach it to my card base.

Next, I cut a panel from red and green patterned paper with the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies. I ink-blended Abandoned Coral and Twisted Citron Distress Ink with my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I used a watercolour brush and some water to add Festive Berries and Mowed Lawn Distress Watercolour Pencil splatter. I added white splatter with a paintbrush and Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. Once this was dry, I used double-sided tape to attach it to my card base.

I stamped several images from the Fruitful Friends and Squeeze the Day stamp sets, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The worm with glasses is from Book Buddies, the sun and clouds are from Rain Or Shine Mice, and the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best.

I stuck the images to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension and added several Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots to complete the card.

Interactive Gardening Card

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I'm excited to share a fun and interactive shutter card that I made using a mix of adorable stamp sets from Time For Tea Designs. The animal friends look like they're having a wonderful time in the garden!  

The following stamp sets were used to create this card:

Hey There Critters (sun and sunflower)

Cacti Critters (butterfly and bunny)

Seasons Tweetings (tree branch and greenery)

I Really Dig You (gardening tools)

Book Buddies (worm)

Squeeze the Day (butterfly)

Fruitful Friends (bee)

Ewe Are The Best (heart flowers)

To make this interactive card, I used the ‘Shutter Card’ and ‘Shutter Card Add-On’ dies from Lawn Fawn, following their instructional videos on YouTube.

I ink-blended Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide over a cloud stencil for the sky, and Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness over a grass stencil for the grass, then added white splatter with a paintbrush and Copic Opaque White.

I stamped, coloured, and die-cut images from the listed sets, added white gel pen accents, glued them in place, and stamped the sentiment in the center opening.

For the band on the front of the card, I die-cut pattered paper from the Sweet Summer 6x6' Paper Pad. I die-cut a circle using the Stitched Circle Dies from white card stock and ink-blended it with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide. I  used the Scalloped Circle Dies to die-cut vellum paper and glued it behind the yellow circle. I used liquid glue to stick the mouse to the center of the circle.

Relaxing Time!

Hi Tea Timers!

Michelle here from the Design Team and this week’s inspiration is a bright and breezy card that’s all about soaking up the sunshine! These fluffy little sheep are having the best beach day and their adventures have been snapped as a pair of mini polaroid scenes to share with you all.

Supplies used:

Ewe Are The Best

Beach Buds

Fintastic Friends

I started with a yellow ink blended sunburst background and added lots of splatter in white and gold metallic watercolour for texture. 

Each photo features a different seaside moment - a super chill sheep sitting with a tropical drink to another swimming with fish and turtles.  

The images were either printed or stamped out and then coloured with alcohol markers. White highlights were added using a gel pen.

For the swimming scene, I die cut waves, ink blended with shades of blue before splattering with metallic watercolour. Once the ink was dry, I cut them down to the size of the photo frame and then layered them one on top of each other to create my ocean.

For the beach scene, I ink blended some clouds, die cut a hillside that I ink blended with shades of brown to mimic sand. I then used some leftover waves from the swimming scene to add some water to my beach.

I used liquid glue to adhere all my images and layers. The white frame of the polaroid was propped up with foam tape to give dimension as well as make things more level as there was already a lot of layering! I added some images such as the shells, bucket and spade and Mr Crab outside of the frames to give an even more beachy feel.

The bold “relax” sentiment was die cut twice from alphabet dies from my stash. Once from bright yellow cardstock and the other from blue ombre ink blended cardstock to tie in with the rest of happy beach-day colours.  For final touches, the ocean and sentiment have splashes of sparkle from glitter glue. 

I have loved making this card and I hope you’re feeling those holiday vibes too. See you back here soon with more crafty sunshine!

Rain or Shine Slimline

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing a drought and haven't seen rain in weeks. I hope my card today inspires Mother Nature to shower my garden with rain soon! It features the Rain Or Shine Mice and Skies The Limit Slimline Die.

I started by die-cutting Distress White Heavy cardstock from Ranger using the Skies The Limit Slimline Die. I then ink-blended the rainbow and sky sections with Kitsch Flamingo, Wild Honey, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides using my Beautiful Blender Brushes.

After gluing the frame of the Skies The Limit Slimline Die onto a slimline card base, I added the individual pieces with liquid glue. Next, I ink-blended Hickory Smoke and Lost Shadow onto Distress White Heavy cardstock using the Tiled Wall 6 x6" Stencil. I adhered this layer to the card base and added white splatter across the entire scene using a paintbrush, water, and acrylic paint.

I stamped several images from the Rain Or Shine Mice stamp set, colored them with Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents using a Gelly Roll Pen. Additionally, I used stamps from the Ewe Are The Best (for flowers), Seasons Tweetings (for green branches), and Cacti Critters (for butterflies and a plant pot). Finally, I used liquid glue to adhere all the images and sentiments to complete the card.

Thinking of You

Happy Friday from DT Annalisa! I'm excited to share a mini card featuring the adorable Rain or Shine Mice along with the Thinking of You Sentiment Die.

To create the back panel for this card, I die-cut patterned paper from the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad using the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered this to a card base using liquid glue.

Next, I die-cut watercolour paper with the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies and created a watery-looking background using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and water. I then attached this piece to the card base with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I die-cut paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad using the Thinking Of You Sentiment Die. I used vellum for the outlined portion of the sentiment and adhered the two pieces together with liquid glue before attaching them to the card base.

I stamped images from the Rain Or Shine Mice stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen. The bee is from the Fruitful Friends set, the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, and the small bird is from Ewe Are Moovellous.

To assemble the card, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to adhere the stamped elements to the card base. I finished the card with three Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots.

Summer Gardening Scene

Happy first day of Summer 2025! DT Annalisa here and I’m excited to share a fun gardening-themed card featuring the new Cacti Critters from Time For Tea Designs. I absolutely love the bunny with his watering can!

To create the background, I sprayed Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Spray onto the Flirty Flowers Stencil and then pressed it onto watercolour paper. After removing the stencil, I spritzed the panel with water and added splatters using Mowed Lawn Distress Watercolour Pencil.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with the Five Windows Cover Die to create a white frame, which I adhered to the green panel using liquid glue. I then attached this to a card base.

For the soil area, I used Ground Espresso, Walnut Stain, and Scorched Timber Distress Watercolour Pencils on watercolour paper. I glued a slim strip of this paper to the bottom of the largest window frame.

I stamped several images, colored them with Copic markers, and added white gel pen accents. The sets I used, along with their coordinating dies, include Cacti Critters, Boat Buddies, Hey There Critters, Fruitful Friends, Ewe Are The Best, and Ewe Are Moovellous.

Finally, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to attach the images to the card base, and I added Stickles to some of them to complete the card.
